THE GEAIN RATE WAR.
no Change Xet, bat the Manitoba
Expected TO Yield.


There has been no change yet in the stu
alton Of freight rates in the Interior" said
Col. Rogers, yesterday. The MINNEAPOLIS
d Pacific continues to quote q Minneapolis
rate 51@c below the quoted rates of the coIn-
petlng roads to Minneapolis or Duluth. There
i strong competition between buyers on the
different systems and at some points prices
paid that at the lowest freight rate made By
the Minneapolis Il Pacific. leaves q margin
against the buyer. Tits condition renders
1t hard Tor buyers Oh the Manitoba and
Northern Pacific roads 10 make Roadway
against the opposition they meet from the
more favored buyers on the other road. AT
Hanklnson, for instance where the freight
Is rate S12c per buSnei to Minneapolis and 12c i
bJsIeI TO Duluth. buyers have paid within &c
Or sc OF Minneapolis prices. Now, with buy
ers on the Minneapolis & Pacific paying 50
close to Minneapolis figures. those On the
Manitoba are at great disadvantage, having
q freight rate of SIC per 100 pounds
above their competitors. OF course this
condition cannot exist many days. as the
Manitoba and Northern Pacific people expect
buyers on their line 10 get q full share of the
grain, there being money in the haul
even at the lower rate charged.
There is much uncertainty as to the result
Things cannot 20 on in this Slipshod and IN
satisfactory manner much longer. The Min
neapotis u Pacific will not modify its decision.
The others, then. must change their rates TO
correspond or bring on an open freight war.
The latter alternative would be very seri-
Gus matter for The Manitoba. because of the
many millions OF bushels of wheat now in
warehouses along its line that. in case of war,
would have TO be brought in at the reduced
WAT charges. tits altogether probable, there
fore, that the others will yield before many
days 10 the demand for a Minneapolis differ
entail by the Minneapolis & Pacific. Affairs
are getting TO be about as badly mixed
further west, where the Manitoba strikes the
territory Of the Milwaukee and Chicago roads,
though owing 10 the Duluth elevators being
fun the Manitoba road can defer quoting
Duluth RATE, making rate to Minneapolis
only, basing that on the rate already estab-
lished by the others. These Milwaukee and
Chicago roads do not love Minneapolis. but
they hate Duluth, and so long as the Mani
tOba does not quote a Duluth rate they may
not openly antagonize each other. but con-
tinue rate as high as the stuff will bear"
What will be the Outcome?''
There can be no other, that can see than
that the Manitoba must Weld"

ALI SORTS.

An injustice was done c. 4. Pillsbury by an
error OF the types yesterday morning. He
was credited with saying the Sixth avenue
bridge scheme was all right; what he said
was that it was all rot.
A well-known attorney said yesterday:
THE gentlemen named for the court house
commission are all intelligent and all prom
inent men. but they are not the men for that
work. Some of them are really not capable
OF building million dollar building"
The Folkebladet still leads the war on Chief
Stetson and says the Scandinaviaus have
rod in pickle for him.
c. H. Petit has introduced into the legis-
lature bill establishing, by statute, the
patrol limits of Minneapolis This shows that
the Republicans are fixing for their inevitable
loss Of power in the spring.
Fritz Gellerup has sent in a communication
in response to that of Citizen" who attacked
their recent meeting. but it is TOO long for
publication. 1t seems there is trouble
among the socialists. Eyert Nymanover, the
retiring secretary. says ne got out because
he can't be a socialist for nothing.
District Master Workman McGaughey-
This bill to appoint court house commission
for Hennepln county that these men will en-
deavor 10 shove through the leglSlat ire
regard as scheme 10 take from the county
commissioners the power vested in them by
the people, simply because there were four
workingmen elected to the board. / have
never heard OF anything like special COM
mission for any such purpose before in my
life, and no one else ever did, either. These
men could not get control of the matter by
electing the commissioners at the polls, and
now their scheme is to create a syndicate
commission and get the matter entirely into
their own hands.
County Attorney Frank Davis wants his
SALARY raised TO $1,000 and Representative
Shuler has introduced bill 10 that effect. 1t
might be in order to say there is absolutely
no truth in the story that Mr.. Davis said he
did not bring UP u certain indictment for
mayh hem, because the friends of the COM
planning witness requested him not 10. Of
course not.

Young. The court charged that the jury
must ind verdict for the plaintiff, awarding
lim nominal damages ut least. The alleged

morning reported that they could not agree.
It was stated after the jury had been dis
charged that only one man wanted to return
verdict for the printers. and that he W ould
not give in.
The case of Alphonse Bergeron against
Robert Erwin, to recover 5000 for false i'm
prisonment. was tried yesterday before Judge
Young. Bergerons story WAS to the effect
that on Oct II, 1885. he went to the livery
stable Of the defendant and hired a buggy.
When he returned to the stable the vehicle
was broken somewhat, and on driving into
the barn Erwin demanded of him So for the
damage he had done. As Bergeron had no
money in his pocket he said he could not pay
Tor 1t just then and therefore could not pay.
he then started to go home, but was detained
Dy Erwin, who, it is alleged, grasped him by
the throat, said he would make him pay and
then pounded him in the face. Bergeron
further complained that he was locked in the
stable and kept there for over an hour. much
against his will.
Otto Holm has filed papers in the district
court commencing an action against George
D. Patterson, Donahue Bowen, j. T. Bower,
j. A. Broadbent, Ture Ernest Holm and
Adolph Holm, to recover certain real estate
which he alleges he was defrauded out of.
In his complaint he states that he did, on
Oct. Z, 1886, own part of lot 1, in block
8. Of Wright's addition. He was induced,
he says, by the plaintiffs to exchange this
said to be worth $500 per lot, and upon which
a loan of $1,000 could easily be secured.
The exchange was made, but when Holm
came to examine his land he found it to be
worth less than So per acre. He alleges that
the whole scheme was put up 10 defraud him.
and that no loan of $1,000 could be secured
or, he land. He claims he was damaged to
the extent of 81, 100 and wants this amount,
together with his land.

The GounOd club scores a Great
Success.

The dining-room of the West hotel proved
totally Inadequate to the occasion last night,
for long before the arrival of the soloiSts a
sympathetic audience had completely filed
the seats and standing room was at a prem
.um. The Gounod has worked long and faith
fully on the choruses of THE Messiah and
they mad called 10 their aid soloists who
proved themselves of superior ability. From
the opening number until the closing chorus
the interest and aItent on of the audience
was maintained. Charles A Knoor. of Chi
caeo. won the enthusiastic appreciation OF his
auditors III the opening solo; his voice is very
clear, of broad range ana good compass, and
he sings with an ease and artistic finish that
is delightful. The bass of Charles D Lacy,
while all that cOuld be desired, perhaps, In
volume, was not so much admired.
his runs, and his voice is not so pure as could
be desired. but he improved very materially
as the evening advanced and his efforts were
kindly received.
The appearance Of Miss Julia May. the alto.
YVES awaited with some curiosity. Miss May
is the new instructor in the Northwestern
Conservatory of Music. and this was her first
appearance before q Minneapolis audience
From the first note of the recitative 20 Thou
that Tellest Good Tidings,' she was afavorite.
The peculiar excellence of her voice is its
sweetness and purity, and the expression
with which she suns He Shall Find His
Flock" gained an enthusiastic encore. Miss
May will always be welcomed by Minneapolis
audiences; she sings with great ease and
without any OF the affectation common among
public singers. Of the soprano. Miss Bessie
Hearding, scarcely Sc much can be said.
Her voice shows careful training, and her
technique is almost faulrless. but in her
higher notes she seems to lack confidence,
and the apparent doubt greatly lessons the
pleasure of an otherwise excellent
rendering. Of the chorus much can
be said in praise; its chief defect is in num-
bers-a defect for which the individual mem
bers are not responsible. Certain it is that
considering the number OF voices, the work
done last night was in every way credItable
alike 10 the singers ard the director. Tue
bass was rather weaker than the other parts
but with this exception the Gounod clue has
first class chorus. In the quartette
and chorus, For Unto Us the Child
Was Born, the audience was fairly thrilled
with the magnificent singing.
DanZ' orchestra WIS far more than the
minor feature usual i'll such presentations; :
their playing OF the Pastoral symphony was
exquisite, and their work throughout excel
lent. All in all. the entertainment last night
was worthy the high character of the audi
ence. ana should have filed the opera house

A LUCKY DAKOTA MAN.
He Secures a Slice of Rich Mining
Property in Alaska.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
FARGO, OAK. Jan. 12.-R. F. Jones. a
relative Of Senator Jones, of Nevada, was
in Fargo to-day on his way east. and was
interviewed by the Argus. For some time
lie has been in Alaska representing some of
the largest mining interests in the country.
He says that that country is exceedingly
rich in mineral wealth and capital is rap
idly finding its way there to develop mines.
Experts are most enthusiastic over the rich
ness Of the ore and the ease with which it
is both mined and worked. Aside from the
property owned by the syndicate which
Mr.. Jones controls. he says one of the most
valuable properties in that whole Northern
country is owned by Nate Lehman, form
erly of North Dakota. 1t is in Douglass
island, where some of the most desirable
mining property in Alaska is located.
Some Eastern capitalists have had their
experts on the ground, and their report
has been extremely favorable. so much
so that it Is said that $500. 600 have been
deposited to be paid in as soon as the proper
deeds. etc., can be executed. and the par
ties Will be on in the early spring to take pos
session, when the money will be paid. One
OF the experts who has examined the prop
erty says that it will be worth SIS 900. 600
as soon as developments are commenced.
Mr.. Lenham's many friends in the North
west will rejoice at his success. and it is
evident that Mr.. Lehman Will be able to
pay dollar for dollar on all claims against
him, because Of the Duluth elevator misfor-
tune. before another year rolls by. Mr.
Jones is very enthusiastic over the mining
prospects in Alaska generally, and especi-
ally in regard to the property which he and
Mr.. Lehman hold. This seems to confirm
the report sent out from Washington few
days ago in regard to an interview with
Senator Jones about the riches of the Arctic
territory.

MILLING OUTLOOK.
The Mills Grinding Slowly and
flour tseIng storcd.


The Northwestern Miller viii say the diff
ference in TIE output o. -four at present and
Tor the same week last year is due TO the ad-
oitIOnal amount of steam power in use. The
current week opened up in an induspicious
manner, and promises 10 witness u falling OF
il hour production unless the engines en-
pI0yed prevent it. There is no water pool.
and with everybody endeavoring 10 run. the
mills [. a. can DO mucn with wafer power are
few IN number. The power for the latter is
Irregulur and poor, ana makes il very difficult
10 produce uniform flour. The West Side
Water Power COMPANY, in whose le.ses is a
provision restricting the mills to sixteen hours
work per day in case of low water. has noti-
fed all parties tdat this will be enforced after
Monday, provided new pool is not fixed up
IN the meantime. This would comDeI the
mills TO run sixteen hours and SHUT down
eight, which they could harry afford to do.
auo it is very probable that another pool will
be arranged before the date mentioned.
Lower wheat has taken from the flour mar
kct its former activity, aud trade is reported
dull by most mlllers. though prices are we'll

cradle quantity of patents helping to swell
